These offices may be re-Iocated or additional community services added. A discussion ensued regarding the type of police service City would be providing as set forth in the General Plan and process would be needed within the General plan to change policy in the future if a new police service concept needed. the what that were It was suggested that the Police Department should have the discretion to decide the kind of police service they feel is most appropriate, and that it not be locked into community oriented policing. Planni~g Director Kilger answered questions, stating that the policies 1n the General Plan regarding Police Department operations don't lock them into either disbursed or centralized operations. - 4 - 5/8/89 . . . Deputy City Attorney Empeno stated there is language in the text on page 373 under Background Data and Analysis, that mentions eight community services offices in descriptive language. However, there is no mention of these in the Goals, policies and Objections nor Implementation Programs. Planning Director Kilger explained that the Text is only background information. With the exception of the Housing Element, it does not need to be amended to keep the General Plan up to date. The Text is important because it supports the Goals, Policies, Objectives and Implementation Programs, but only provides an understanding of what is hoped to be accomplished. Planning Director Kilger answered questions regarding assurance that the Police Department is not locked into community oriented policing in the General Plan. He referred to Policy 8.1.4 on page 378 which says "Continue to support and encourage community-based crime prevention efforts through regular interaction and coordination with existing neighborhood watch programs, assistance in the formation of new neighborhood watch groups, and regular communication with neighborhood and civic organizations(I8.6)".

CITY CLERK CLARK RETURNED TO At 9:45 a.m., City Clerk Meeting and replaced Deputy City THE MEETING Clark returned Clerk Reese. to the Council Fire Subsection Senior Planner Ross gave an overview of Subsection B Fire. Sr. Planner Ross answered questions regarding Policy 8.4.4, page.3~9, which refers to a study regarding the feasibility of requ~r~ng all existing development to install fire protection systems including automatic sprinkler systems. Sr. Planner Ross answered questions about development fees and stated that an assessment district had been established in the Tri-City area to pay for the new fire station. Deputy City Administrator Jim Richardson stated that the State law provides that the City can impose such a fee, but at this time the City does not do so. However, at some future time, the City may want to consider a public facilities fee to include - 5 - 5/8/89 . . . . a community oriented police office, library, or other public facilities. Planning Director Kilger referred to Implementation 18.12, page 391, which states in part "Methods to fund the improvements shall be identified, which may include development fees and/or site dedication for facilities". On page 392, 18.19 states "The City shall impose fees on development for the development of fire facilities and services as necessitated by that development, as permitted by State legislation. Mr Kilger suggested the alternative would be to say the City may impose fees, which would leave the door open for the City to consider that in the future. This would not be limited to fire facilities, but could include all new development. Planning Director Kilger answered questions regarding policy 8.4.4, page 389, stating that provision which states "Study the feasibility of requiring all existing development to install fire protection systems including automatic sprinkler systems." does include residential units. Mr. Tescher stated there is confusion, because 18.14, page 389, doesn't relate to the policy as it deals with the high rise fire protection. He suggested that Program 18.15 would be more appropriate, as the second sentence reads "Undertake a study to identify the types of systems which can be installed in existing commercial and multi-family residential buildings." A discussion ensued regarding Policy 8.4.3, page 389, which states "Require all existing and new residential development to install and maintain adequate smoke detection systems." Sr. Planner Valerie Ross stated that it had been recommended that "existing single family" be deleted, as this provision cannot be enforced. The Fire Department had advised the Planning Department, that if a citizen requests an inspection, they can do it, but they cannot inspect as a matter of course. answered questions, policy, the Council to sprinklers for Deputy City Administrator Richardson stating that to be consistent with previous may want to strike the specific reference existing residential units. A discussion ensued regarding the requirement for sprinkler systems for all new public buildings. Sr. Planner Ross referred to Implementation 18.11, page 391, which says, "Continue, or incorporate, as necessary, in the City's Building Code requirements for the installation of smoke detection systems in all new and existing development and fire protection and automatic sprinkler systems in new commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential development projects." She stated this addresses the issue, as the policy would be following the implementation and the Building Code which would - 6 - 5/8/89 . . . presumably have sprinkler or fire protection requirements in certain types of buildings. Jim Knight, Deputy Fire Chief, stated that there are specific areas in the Uniform Fire Code and the Uniform Building Code that address the kind of occupancies that should be sprinklered. It is not the intent that all occupancies in the City, both public and private, be required to be sprinklered. He recommended that language regarding buildings to be sprinklered be in accordance with applicable Fire Codes. Mr. Knight stated that Policy 8.4.3, page 389, requires all existing and new residential development to install and maintain adequate smoke detection system. Presently, it is required that all residential buildings, single and multi-family be required to have smoke detection systems, but existing single family units cannot be enforced by the Fire Department, because it does not have the authority to go in after the fact to inspect them unless requested to do so. Mr. Knight answered questions, stating that hotels and motels are considered commercial buildings, and the Fire Department is required to inspect them. They also inspect any multi-family that include three units or more. Mr. Tescher recommended that for consistency, the wording in Policy 8.4.3, page 389, could be changed to read as follows: "Require all new residential and existing multi-family development to install and maintain adequate smoke detection systems." Mr. Knight stated the Fire Department can inspect any rental as long as it is identified as a rental because it qualifies as a business. The problem is identifying which single family residences in the City are rentals. City Clerk Clark explained that the Business License Division only licenses multi-family units when there are four units or more and are contiguous. A discussion ensued regarding a feasibility study and the definition of such a study. Planning Director Kilger referred to Policy 8.4.2, page 389, which requires that all new publicly owned buildings, commercial, industrial, and multiple-unit residential developments install fire protection systems, in accordance with applicable codes, which excludes single family dwellings. Policy 8.4.1 requires that all buildings subject to City jurisdiction adhere to fire safety codes. Sr. Planner Ross answered questions regarding the consistency in the various policies. - 7 - 5/8/89 . . . RECESS MEETING At 10:40 a.m., the Mayor and Common Council recessed for a ten minute break.

Deputy City Attorney Empeno stated that 18.19 includes "as permitted by State legislation". He stated he felt the statement reflects the requirement of AB1600 and State law, so didn't recommend any changes. Education - Subsection .C. - Page 403 Sr. Planner Ross presented the Subsection on Education. The Planning Commission did not have any recommended changes to the text, goals, objectives, or policies. However, they recommended many changes to the Implementation Measures. They felt that many of the measures listed were not the City's responsibility and were impinging on the School District's authority. A discussion ensued regarding Objective 8.7, page 403, which states: "Ensure that adequate school facilities are provided for all students in the City and its sphere of influence." Sr. Planner Ross answered questions, stating that the language could be clarified to say that the City could help to ensure that it happens. Mr. Tescher suggested another alternative would be to say "Assist in providing". Planning Director Kilger stated that cooperate and coordinate with the School the City's goal is to District, so that as - 8 - 5/8/89 . . . . development takes place, educational facilities are provided. The School District has a responsibility to inform the City what their problems and needs are. A discussion ensued regarding language in various sections to strengthen the concept of cooperation with the School district. Mr. Tescher suggested the language in Goal 80, page 403, could be revised to read as follows: "To support programs that meet the educational needs of the City's residents", and to be consistent, 8.7 could be changed to read: "To support the programs that provide adequate school facilities". A discussion ensued regarding Policy 8.8.7, page 404, which states: "Establish city-sponsored programs to serve students in a year-round school system that provides supervision in educational, recreational, and cultural programs (18.29)". Annie Ramos, Director, Parks, Recreation and Community Services, answered questions, stating at the present time, they are doing extended day programs with the School District on a fee basis where it is self sustaining. She stated they have studied safe kid and latch key programs, but those programs have not been implemented yet. Mr. Tescher suggested that 8.8.7 be changed to read as follows: "Work with the School District to establish programs to serve students in a year round school system that provides educational, recreational, and cultural programs." Annie Ramos, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, explained that the Civic Center Account provides for joint use of the facilities, and agreed that it would be good to have something in writing to encourage cooperation with the City so the public could be aware of these programs. Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council Member Miller and unanimously carried, to delete Policy 8.8.7, which reads as follows: "Establish city-sponsored programs to serve students in a year-round school system that provides supervision in educational, recreational, and cultural programs (18.29)" . Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council Member Miller and unanimously carried, to delete Implementation Program 18.29, which reads as follows: "The City, as requested, shall work with the San Bernardino City Unified School District to institute a program that provides adult supervised activities to students involved in the year-round school system. The program should provide a full range of activities which shall include, but not be limited to, educational, cultural and recreational." - 9 - 5/8/89 .

Sr. Planner Ross explained the provisions of which states that the City shall work with the Trustees to ensure that adequate services are residents of the City. Evelyn Alexander, Administrative Operations Supervisor II, Library, answered questions regarding the use by the public of computers in the City Library. She stated that an important issue of having computers in the Library is that many citizens cannot afford training on a computer elsewhere. Ms. Alexander stated the Library has approximately 500 disks available, which are for public use, but cannot be taken home. The public must also supply their own supplies, such as paper. 18.46, page 418, Library Board of provided to the A discussion ensued regarding the last sentence in 18.46, page 418, which states: "priorities for improvements shall include new branches in the northeast and northwest areas of the City and the relocation of the Dorothy Ingram Branch. .

The City would still be required to meet the AB 1600 requirements before mandating those fees. A discussion ensued regarding Policy 8.9.9, page 413, which states: "Incorporate sculpture, paintings, and other forms of art in all City buildings (18.39)".
